Peyton, who presides over Henry Superior Court 1, is being treated at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis for a ruptured aneurysm that occurred on Sunday, Jan. 23.
Peyton's recovery is advancing, but it's a slow process, according to a Web page set up by Peyton's family to keep friends and family updated. * * *
